missouri airport. if you look closely... you can

welcome back on this thursday morning. federal investigators are looking into a close call at missouri airport. if you look closely, you can see a plane narrowly miss a van at springfield branson national airport seconds before take-off. three airport employees were inside the van at the time. nobody was injured. a 61-year-old man is in the hospital this morning after a violent shark attack on an east coast beach. it happened yesterday in cape cod, massachusetts, when the man was standing 30 feet offshore. some quick thinking nearby nursing school grads rushed to his aid and packed his wounds until paramedics arrived. >> like, all right, he is breathing, he is conscious. let's stop this bleeding. we are, like, let's get him in this towel. a bunch of people carried him down. >> the beach was closed. no word on the condition of the victim this morning. raging floodwaters trapped residents in several feet of water in upstate new york yesterday after a predawn

storm pounded the area. water ripped through homes and roads causing damage. cuomo declared a state of emergency for more than a dozen counties in the finger lakes region and along the pennsylvania border. in spite of the damage, officials say nobody was hurt. >> they have several more days of rain on the way. so a storm system, they already had one coming through and the next one is coming through now. more rain to add on to that. for us no rain. we are desperate. >> 223 days. >> 123 days. >> it's been 100 years since it's rained! ha ha! >> are you making things up? >> 123 days of no rain in san jose in case you guys are keeping track with us. ha ha! here's a look from the "salesforce tower" camera. you can see clouds. yes, we have had about 100 days in a row of cloud coverage in the morning. that's what we have also been seeing across san francisco. but this is a good sign. we are already seeing a break

in the cloud coverage even in the early-morning hours. so this is our kpix 5 roof camera. it's always nice when you can see the buildings downtown. 57 in downtown san francisco. san jose 62. santa rosa now at 56 degrees. here's a look at your satellite/radar showing the cloud coverage as extending towards livermore, concord though starting to clear up a little bit. same with parts of redwood city. so not widespread cloud coverage like yesterday. and a lot of this is going to break off early this morning. so that means you will see more sunshine. that also means it will be a little warmer out there today. here's a look at your visibility down to six miles at half moon bay. livermore down to 7. concord 9. not bad at all for drivers commuting. usually when it's down to one or two miles, it could be rough to drive through. 10 a.m. sunshine for most of you. francisco, the golden gate bridge. but then it should burn off this afternoon making for

another pretty nice afternoon. yesterday sunshine at lunch. it will feel warmer especially for inland communities. you may not see that near the water. temperatures will be consistently cooler because of the overall west wind yet again. so the onshore breeze of course bringing in that coastal cool air that we see definitely around the water. but inland communities not impacted so much by that today. air quality is good so we are in the green which means skies should be clear. not affected by the wildfires. this ridge of high pressure is moving closer. so we are going to be getting warmer. today temperatures 83 palo alto, 82 sunnyvale. so instead of the 70s like you saw yesterday, reaching mostly the 80s for a lot of you and maybe some of the hottest spots at 90 like brentwood. 60s at the and 70s in the bay. wine country in the 80s. tomorrow not so comfortable. 90s through wednesday.

just going to see a few degrees increased. right now, we are tracking a major bart delay systemwide major delays due to an equipment problem on the tracks that originated in downtown oakland. now we're following this right now -- at one point it was 20- minute delays and they went to major delays. so if you usually take bart, you may want to reconsider that this morning because it's dealing with some major issues right now. so we'll keep you posted as to when they get back on track. but in the meantime, expect your morning commute to be pretty slow if you use bart. right now we are tracking an easy ride for drivers on the roads. there's 880 through oakland. and no delays along the nimitz freeway. if you are making your way southbound, this is just south of hesperian.

an easy commute towards the dumbarton bridge. we are starting to get busy but our drive times are in the green. san mateo bridge not a problem in either direction. a quick easy 13 minutes between 880 and 101. speaking of 101, here's a live look through san mateo near hillsdale boulevard. traffic moving right at the limit and quite a bit of space between all those cars out there. that's a check of traffic. back over to you. the department of homeland security's inspector general will review a tsa program called quiet skies. the program uses federal air marshals to track u.s. citizens flagged as possibly posing a threat. the passengers are not suspected of a crime and not under investigation and not on any terror watch list. investigators will look into whether the program follows privacy laws and whether it's effective. the dhs inspector general's announcement of the review of the program came in response to a request by congressman michael caputo. trying to address

now it's cloudy. that's kind of the story throughout the morning. it's not necessarily as widespread cloud coverage as we are used to seeing the past few weeks or past few days actually weeks i should say. here's a live look at the golden gate bridge with fog there. it looks like overall, our temperatures are going to be warming up today. cloud coverage clears early this morning. tomorrower though, the heat returns with a minimal onshore breeze. light variable breezes. east bay not as breezy as yesterday, vallejo 7, concord 13. fairfield only 14-mile-per- hour sustained winds. we have seen that a lot stronger across the hills especially. and north bay very calm conditions. that's why a lot of this fog is settling in across santa rosa so visibility may be lower there but overall the cloud coverage is breaking apart here and there already

months of the year. but by june, collections have only hit 82. lawmakers are tackling long wait times at the dmv. in a 15-10 vote lawmakers narrowly approved a budget bill that will allow the dmv to pursue an additional $26 million to speed up the processing of licenses at their offices. some republicans slammed the decision saying the dmv has been unable to explain what they will do with millions they have already received. the average wait time at the dmv is now a little over an hour and a half. anyone who had to wait knows those long, long lines -- >> some people have had to wait all day and lining up at sunrise even with an appointment. >> speaking of standing and watching, there's a lot of waiting around this morning. >> we have big lines developing at the bart stations due to a problem they are trying to arrest
